For those of you who always wondered how the death race in Death Race began, it seems that Death Race 2, which comes straight to DVD and Blu-ray on January 18, will hold the answers you desire.

Against all laws of nature, Big Momma’s House 3keeps happening, though it probably won’t be called that.

Guess everyone’s gotta eat, but why does it have to be a shit sandwich?
